The problem with O&M

FRANK MASTIAUX, CEO OF E.ON CLIMATE AND RENEWABLES RECENTLY SAID THAT IF COMPANIES SUCH AS E.ON ARE TO REALISE THEIR PROJECT PIPELINES AND GET MW ON THE GROUND, THE WIND INDUSTRY HAS TO MOVE FROM “BOUTIQUE TO TRULY INDUSTRIAL LEVELS OF OUTPUT”. BUT AS THIS HAPPENS AT AN EVER INCREASING RATE (CREDIT CRUNCH OR NO CREDIT CRUNCH), HOW CAN PROJECT DEVELOPERS AND TURBINE MANUFACTURERS ENSURE THAT THE TWIN DEMONS OF POOR TURBINE RELIABILITY AND HIGH COSTS OF O&M – BOTH WELL DOCUMENTED – DO NOT CONSPIRE TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL SCALE OF WIND POWER?
